best watercooling kit

[SaintDevil]

I'm looking to do some fairly extreme overclocking on an opeteron (939 pin) system. What are some of the better kits to use? I plan to overclock the system, and the video card as well, so a vga block would be nice, but i guess you can buy that separately. also a good guide on installing watercooling kits would be nice. thanks!

oh, and price isn't too much of a problem as long as its within 100-500$. again, thanks.

If you can spend $500 I would suggest individually sourced parts.

Well, I've never put a water cooling system together before, so I want to try and go with an all-in-one type solution if possible. I'm looking at the koolance exos-2. does anyone have any experience with this unit? how hard is it to install? how much oc'ing does it allow?

A well-rounded set of reviews might help a bit:

lol, I already looked at both of those. I just wanted to know if anybody had any personal experience with this cooling system. Thanks though.

I was trying to help, dude. I had no idea what you have or haven't read, but it seems like you don't know much about the unit to be asking the questions you are. Good luck.

 

[SaintDevil]

woah! I know you were trying to help. i was just remarking that i've already seen those, and clarifying what i was looking for. sorry if i offended you.

 

[HardWarrior]

No offense taken, no apology required.

Well, if you want an alredy built one, and have 500, get the OCZ phase system that is coming out real soon, since the temps are sub zerro and it costs 300. http://anandtech.com/tradeshows/showdoc.aspx?i=2669&p=2

Looks cool, but i have two reservations with that: 1) won't that get so cold that condensation will form all around the processor? and 2) what would i use to cool the video card? thanks!

Yeah, but they probably give you some sealstring for that . All will be included to maintain a working computer . Too bad OCZ John isn't here, he could prolly tell us all about it .
